Hey everyone,

I guess this thread will address a very common problem of the fastlaners.

Garyvee always says that auditing your friends' circle is the key. I can only confirm that. For the 8 years I have spent in Germany, there was this 2 years span where I really had an amazing flat with amazing flatmates, I had a great mastermind group. They were my buddies and wingmen all the time, we used to hang out and chill and really care about each other.

I really felt cared and inspired at the same time.

Then people move on with their lives. Some marry, some move away, whatever.

The point is, I have almost noone that cares and inspires me at the same time.

To reformulate: I want friends, that have winner character. People with dreams and visions, who really invest time and money on their dreams.

The people who care about me, do not inspire me. (might be a problem of arrogance as well)

I thought where I could find people who have dreams&visions and really act on them:

- Startup pitches, entrepreneur meetups
- Lairs, seduction-related groups
- While traveling, on the way

These were the only three places I have seen people who have inspired me really.

The reason is probably because these groups are all attached to an adventure. They require people to do bold stuff and stick out.

My question to the forum is: Where do you guys find people who make really good friends?

Or where would you go to, if you wanted to find a friend?

Sure, I can meet someone like that everywhere, say, in a beauty parlor as well or fitness studio. But some places have bigger chances than others, isn't it like that?
